The Big News for March is a Day of Dr. Suess, here at the Highland Branch Library, on Friday, March 2nd, in honor of Dr. Seuess' birthday! In the Children's Library we will be reading a different Dr. Seuss book every hour on the hour, then at 5 p.m. comes the birthday bash - the Dr. Seuss book voted for the most will be read and crafts will rule!

We will also begin the In-N-Out Burger Cover-to-Cover Reading Club on March 3rd which will run through April 14th. It's for ages 4-12. Those who can't read can be read to by someone else. Read 5 books and earn an award certificate for a free kids burger. While supplies last. Come to the Highland Branch to sign-up and learn more!
